Light fantastic

Article Abstract:

Telecommunications companies have adopted wave division multiplexing (WDM) in upgrading their core networks to meet increased capacity demands. The technology involves an increase in the capacity of optical fibers through the transport of each data channel using a unique optical wavelength. Thus, WDM has emerged as the mainstream technology in national, regional and intra-city levels as work continues to elevate WDM to higher levels of flexibility and efficiency.
